Kitchen Remodel Rough-In With 8 New Cans in Camas, WA

This Camas kitchen was getting opened up, and the wall coming out had wiring in it. Ryan and the crew spent the day on the rough-in for the new layout, working for the general contractor running the remodel.

Lighting

We cut in new 6-inch cans. The plan started at 10, and we took 2 back out of the living room, so 8 went in. The new kitchen cans tie in with the cans that were already there. We also converted 9 existing cans.

Then we pulled switch legs for the living room, the light over the sink, the under-cabinet lights, the island pendants and the disposal. The kitchen cans are set up for a wireless 3-way switch, so they can be turned on from a second spot without running a new wire through a finished wall.

Outlets and circuits

• 8 new outlets, including one in the island for the microwave, one on the side of the pantry cabinet for a coffee bar, and one in the shelving under the stairs for a possible second microwave.
• 4 stubs for under-cabinet lighting.
• The old disposal circuit now feeds kitchen outlets, and we extended the kitchen circuit about 15 feet.
• We extended circuits for the range hood and the dishwasher, and split the microwave circuit to two locations.

Trim-out comes after drywall and cabinets. Our kitchen remodel electrical page covers what that looks like, and contractors can see how we schedule around your crews.
